No More Fighting with the DMV: Custom Car Emblems from youremblem.com Are Great

By Alice Hill
RealTechNews

Yesterday I saw a car that went for that old school custom look. They took the standard “Corolla” emblem on the back of the trunk, whacked off the “C” “O” and “A” and wound up with “roll.” It made me a little sad, because it’s 2005 and you basically have three choices if you want to make a personalized statement - buy a bumper sticker, order a vanity plate, or whack letters off your car’s name. Like a Toyota becomes a “Toy” har har.

Luckily there is hope. A company called youremblem.com lets you create any emblem you want for your car - your initials, a name, whatever. I wrote about it back in June, but they recently sent me my gaming handle “GameGirl” and I have to say the quality is outstanding.

The plastic is the same grade as the emblem on your car, and all you have to do is carefully line up the letters and stick them on. You only get one chance, and the emblems are permanent, so make sure you don’t stick the letters on lopsided. (Why did I pick such a long name?!)

Anyway, if you want to personalize your car in a classy and unique way, I have to say I have seen the real goods and this is worth the money. It’s about $3.49 a letter or you can purchase popular pre-packaged phrases like “Custom” for $17.50. Makes a great gift for the car lover in your life.

NOTE: Uh -oh….looks like we flooded them with too much traffic and the site came down. Check back tomorrow if you get a bad link.

PS - thanks Gizmodo for pointing to us. We love you!

Too bad you can't rearrange the letters of HONDA to spell MORON...

that site has been around for a while, I looked into it and they just sell a bunch of letters and you can do whatever you like. I ended up getting intouch with a company in cali and they actually made me an emblem with connected letters, written in MAXIMA script but it reads something else. I will post pic once I put it on my car. I have had it for about half a year now but I am still waiting to do some painting before I put it on my car. You just send them a file of the emblem you want then they make it to your specs. One thing I will say is it is not cheap, mine was 75 for one emblem plus shipping.

Seems like just letters. I don't consider that an emblem!
